Following up the recent discussion on rolling high and low, I'd like to suggest a few things you can do with dice to speed up play or reduce confusion, and ask what other people do.

--Especially in "buckets of dice" games, each side has dice of a distinctive color to reduce arguments over whose die a particular one might be. --If the game calls for percentile dice, there is always a 10-00 and a 1-00, to avoid arguments based on "of course the blue die was the tens die!"--D6's are always spots. DAV are always Arabic numerals. --If dice with a logo are used, all the logo dice in any one game MUST have the logo in the same spot. In any one game, either the logo is 1 or 6. There can never be a question.--I use color if I can. If I'm doing a Brent Oman-style game with green troops rolling D8's, regulars a D10 and elites a D12, each of the sizes of dice is a distinctive color, and the bases of the castings are marked to match--a dot of green and green D8's and a dot of red with red D12's, for instance.
